How Did You Get Hired?

I met a group from Power Design at a campus career fair during my senior year of college. As an Engineering major, I was interested in working in the construction industry. They told me about the different career opportunities for new grads, so I applied for the Project Engineer position. After the interview, I realized Power Design offered exactly what I wanted - exciting projects and a solid career track. Two years later, I'm working at a jobsite in South Florida, and I'm getting invaluable experience.

Career Highlights

Attending all customer and construction coordination meetings.

Working with vendors to strategically schedule material deliveries and returns.

Scheduling inspections and ensuring that the jobsite has proper material to stay on schedule.

Experiencing a deck pour on the 35th floor of a high-rise building. This is pretty exciting!

Training (about 30% of my day) and shadowing various positions to gain a complete understanding of the construction process.

Working on a high-rise condo overlooking the ocean is awesome!

Whatâs Your Career Path?

There are a couple of different career paths for Project Engineers at Power Design. If I decide to stay in the field, I can train to become a Project Superintendent on different jobsites. I can also transfer to corporate headquarters to work as an Estimator or a Project Manager. Either way, there are a lot of opportunities here for advancement!
